I too was drawn to this download by the potential thrill of hearing what former "stunt guitarist" Michael Keneally could do in a Soundscape situation. Although his contributions are a little lost in the mix at times, I was not disappointed.

However, the whole performance is stunning, one of best Soundscapes I’ve heard in a long time and certainly THE best I’ve heard from a G3 concert. Robert has often stated that Soundscapes are about responding to the environment in which they are performed. Thus there is usually a clear difference to be heard between a performance recorded in a church, say, and one in a concert hall.

In this case, it amazed me how Mr Fripp was able to produce music of such pastoral beauty in a room full of baying heavy metal fans!

The continuation of DGM’s current "Let’s get all of Michael’s money" project. Of course the big deal is Mike Kenneally joining Fripp for 18 minutes, and while he’s somewhat buried for the first half, he Read more
